🚆 Tren Maya to Campeche: The Good, The Not-So-G

🚆 Tren Maya to Campeche: The Good, The Not-So-Good & The Coffee That Haunts Me ☕

Took the Tren Maya recently for a little adventure to Campeche. I’ve done it twice now, so I feel qualified to give you the inside scoop—with love, honesty, and caffeine-fueled opinions 💁‍♀️

Here’s the breakdown:
✨ Pros:
✔️ It’s clean, comfy, and smells like new train energy
✔️ Scenic views of the countryside—perfect for your main character moment
✔️ On time! No delays (bless)
✔️ Friendly staff—even the military crew!
✔️ Outlets to charge your phone and post about your journey in real time (if you have signal—more on that below)
✔️ First class = more legroom + a drink
✔️ Stations have cafés, gift shops & snacks (no jaguar plushie left behind)
✔️ Shuttle from Mérida’s La Plancha is smooth and suitcase-friendly
✔️ Locals are actually using it—it’s not just for tourists

😬 Cons:
❌ Pricier than ADO—even for locals. Many still opt for the bus
❌ Foreign residents pay double– charged as international tourists (yes, even if you’ve lived here for 10 years, pay taxes and eat more lechon than your neighbors)
❌ Stations are outside the city, so you’ll need extra time + a shuttle
❌ The Mérida shuttle leaves 45 min after the train arrives. That’s a lot of Instagram scrolling
❌ Wi-Fi? Not so much… download your playlist.
❌ Signs say “no outside food”—and technically, they mean it
❌ And now, the coffee… Friends, I beg you: do not get the train coffee. It tastes like betrayal and broken dreams. Bring your own and hope they don’t confiscate it. Save yourself.

Final take?
The Tren Maya is like a new relationship: full of charm, good intentions, and a few things we’re politely ignoring for now. It has serious potential, and if it delivers on its promises to connect communities and support the region, I’ll happily keep riding it—with snacks stashed and a thermos clutched like my life depends on it.

Would you take the Tren Maya?

@midwoman Yucatán Fashion Show

Tuesday night was a fantastic night of fashion, history, and celebration in the heart of Mérida!

The stunningly renovated @casona333 on Calle 60 opened its grand doors to a truly unforgettable event: the Yucatán Fashion Show hosted by the always-inspiring @ligiaaguayo , founder and force behind MID Woman magazine.

This elegant evening marked 13 years of MID Woman, a publication that has not only showcased style but has empowered the voices of women, designers, and creators across Yucatán and Mexico. Over the years, the magazine has become a platform that uplifts and amplifies the creative pulse of Latin America—and this celebration was a tribute to that legacy.

👗 👠👜👛👢👡🥿👕👔

The runway came alive with the brilliance of four iconic Mexican designers, each presenting collections that told their own story:

• 👔 @aldrinayuso , who not only stunned with his collection but also celebrated 30 years in fashion, marking a milestone of creativity and resilience in the industry.
• 👗 @morademoda , blending timeless elegance with rich artisanal details.
• 👢 @atelierpuchetapaz , bringing avant-garde edge with bold silhouettes and vision.
• 👛 @pinedacovalin , with their signature fusion of Mexican heritage and luxury design.

The atmosphere was electric—set within the enchanting walls of Casona 333, now a new venue for exclusive events, also home to José Rose restaurant, a destination restaurant that promises elevated dining in a dreamy historic setting.
Throughout the night, guests were treated to a spectacular video mapping show, the stunning runway shoe and live jazz, a perfect harmony of art, music, and fashion. Every detail of the night echoed the vibrancy of Mexican and Latin American design.
